They also fail to mention sending radioactive structures to dumps and recylcing centers. They conventiantly dismantled numerous buildings despite being ordered not to do so until EPA assessment was completed.
Reactors are like a box of chocolate ( that you left on the back porch on a sunny day) You never know what you got till it cools down and you take the lid off! Just tryin to help.
14:30 shows a liquid waste tank. -One of those liquid waste tanks was discovered on an adjacent property....it had been hooked up backwards to the well pump so it would suck the contents out of the tank and send it's contents down into the well. No one really knows for sure what kind of waste it contained, how long it had been there pumping the waste into the water table/aquifer, or who had originally put it there, if a cleanup contractor had been instructed to put it there, or an underhanded deal had been made with the property owner to allow dumping there. We will probably never know.
where do you read about that? if it was a submersible well pump it would be impossible to hook it up backwards to a tank because the suction intake is in the well
The entire video is spine-chilling!! I wonder the consequences of this unspeakable behaviour on the "decommissioned" location, the people living there, the workers that were certainly exposed to high levels of "low level" radiations. Its an indicator of what is bound to happen always in the nuclear industry.
no it is in reference the first time that it was turned on. going critical is when you have a self sustaining nuclear reaction. All nuclear power plants are critical if they are on-line and generating power.
8088bit Thats incorrect, nuclear criticality refers to an uncontrolled nuclear reaction, not a controlled one whatsoever. Nuclear reactions in power plants are specifically controlled to emit specific levels of radiation and heat. When a nuclear reactor goes critical, the radioactive isotope being used has started to rapidly decay beyond controllable rates, which is very bad. Nuclear criticality == Chernobyl and atom bombs
It's not music, it's actually the sound recording equipment picking up harmful wavelengths of ionising radiation present at the facility. Facinating how it sounds like a four piece band.
It should. It’s so much more efficient and cleaner then any other type of energy production. If it wasn’t for Russian cheapness and stupidity there would be so many more nuclear power plants. Chernobyl scared everyone that nuclear energy was blackballed. It’s stupid because what happened in Chernobyl could not happen anywhere else in the world. Safety systems and containment buildings would prevent it. The closest thing is Fukushima and they required a major catastrophe and still didn’t really cause widespread damage. Sure people would lose their lives in accidents, but that happens at McDonalds. No workplace is 100% safe and guaranteed to be accident free.
Hows the music, what a hoot!! Yep we need power more than ever now with electric cars and so forth, so lets decommission the best way to generate power....
@@snizzake There's a difference between contamination, which is radioactive particles, and radiation or the energy that radioactive particles emit. Some types of radiation, including x-rays and gamma rays, go right through most matter except dense elements like lead. Contamination is similar to dust and can be contained, such as with plastic.
Glad it was a total success, and I'm glad it made an insane amount of money. I'm glad that I was involved and that I was paid very well. It is awesome that I invented a anti-gravity device. Maybe someday we will tell them how we made it.
The 1959 SRE accident released many times more radiation into the surrounding areas than three mile island. Few people know that this was the worst accident to occur at a nuclear energy facility in the United States, and not TMI.
The largest release of fission products to the environment occurred at the SL-1 reactor at INEL, Almost no activity was released from the SRE. The actinides and activation products were contained within the the reactor system and the sodium coolant. The removal of moderator and fuel elements was accomplished with closed systems devices and isolated for burial. Get your facts straight!
10:39 I'd love to have been at _that_ meeting, where it was decided to use explosive cutting on the nuclear reactor parts. "Uh, boss, I have a Sawzall in my truck..." "Dammit, no! I've decided to use explosives, and we're usin' 'em!"
Just bury it, let someone else worry about it in years to come. When you consider what it costs to build then tear down these places and all the concomitant problems that remain and in some cases never go away, it becomes apparent that they are a financial black hole and cannot possibly make a profit.
So what I’m getting from this, is that if you want to get rid of anything at all, the best way to do it is to bury it in Nevada.
Pretty much 🤷♂

Gotta love the sharp head coverings.
Good idea, paint it, then move it on the back of pickup trucks. Then bury it somewhere else.
Bury?! Just shoot the sodium barrels with a hunting rifle and watch it burn while remembering to stand up wind...
I like your educational videos. That is one of the reasons why I haven subscribed to your channel.
Lovin the music
Tepco/NHK should use this kind of music in Fukushima videos they release to lighten the mood.
The music sounds just like EPCOT center... also in 1982.

No mention of the meltdown. Find that kind of odd.
You mean that part at 1:32 where he says "and went critical in 1957" in reference to the incident?
no it is in reference the first time that it was turned on. going critical is when you have a self sustaining nuclear reaction. All nuclear power plants are critical if they are on-line and generating power.

Yea that is obviously is a clear admission of the event, not. The op's statement is valid while your reply is rated f for fucked.
I think you're referring to supercriticality.
where can i get the music? I loved it!.

@@Youre_Right the fact that fossil fuels cause far more deaths per year due to polluting substances and lung disease
It said March of 1982. I wonder if John Belushi was still alive?
Hows the music, what a hoot!! Yep we need power more than ever now with electric cars and so forth, so lets decommission the best way to generate power....
At 17:08 so plastic bags can provide safe effective storage for radioactive contaminated debris, that's good to know.
That was just for transport, but yes plastic stops the contamination from migrating
@@hjembrentkent6181 So why do I need a lead vest when I get an x ray?

Absolutely incorrect! Cite your sources!

"Uh, boss, I have a Sawzall in my truck..."
"Dammit, no! I've decided to use explosives, and we're usin' 'em!"
You're gonna cut 6 inch hardened stainless steel with a sawzall? LoL...
They dumped at the Heneme Beach site by the steel factory and recycled some material there too Boeing is aware.
People are still dying from the Santa Susanna laboratory. Shame on you for making more propaganda on a ongoing radioactive problem.
Everyone out here and Simi Valley is getting cancer thanks to this.
Santa Susana don't you melt-down on me
I'm going to South Carolina with your nuclear junk and me behind the wheel. (...more later...)
So I guess it was a total bust, nice candy coat though
It was falling apart so was time to stop nice idea bad result

Not a single one of you have any idea what you are talking about.
they buried it under Hueneme beach in california
So almost every word he says was a lie…..
Ignorance in comments abounds .
still hot as of 2018 lots for homes will be available in 4056
Um I wonder how many workers died of cancer? Also I highly doubt there was low levels of radioactivity because of the accident only 13 years before
according to these folks 3800: ua-cam.com/video/JATapwVwn4k/v-deo.html
